    Easter Ham Questions

    I have done picnics for Easter and Christmas for last few years, and I always remove the skin (keep to make pork rinds), I have done with bone in and removed, if you want nice easy slices then de-boning is the way to go and smoke it hanging in a net.  I prefer to double-smoke for the simple fact...

    KCBS Competitions Banning US Flag?

    The pc police will protect those who want to burn the flag in protest, but are outraged when you want to show your patriotic pride by flying the flag,  a sad world we live in now a days.  I long for the days of our greatest generation's values.

    10 pounds of belly for $23?!?!

    I just placed an order for a box of 3 sides of approx. 8 lbs. +/- each for a price of $2.83/lb.  I thought that was pretty reasonable.  The next few months should see pork prices drop before they level out come summer, according to market.

    Boiling down Maple Sap to make syrup......

    Syrup is ready when sap is boiled down and temp. registers 7 degrees above boiling point for water at your altitude.  When that temp. is reached you need to immediately pull from heat source or chance what you've experienced, it burns quickly and then ruins a lot of hard work.

    Sour fermented Sausage

    To fully understand the process of the books recipe, you must initially follow it to get a base for what the products final taste is, then on subsequent batches, you will have a better understanding of what changes result in altering final flavor.  To change too many things from the start and...

    Apple Orchard Wood Question

    You eat the apples from the trees right? I would imagine more chemicals on and in the apple itself than the wood would absorb and release during smoking. Just my 2 cents opinion.

    wood stove vs Cold Smoke Generators

    I may be a purist, but the only way to truly smoke is with wood.  I know there will be plenty that say "electric, propane, pellet, etc." are easier and don't require all the tending and technique involved with wood, but for my money the work involved only adds to the appreciation with the final...

    Experimental Fire Water!!! AKA Acid Rain!

    I've been doing something similar to this for years.  Every time I make stuffed jalapenos, I'll take the seeds and pulp that you scoop out and put in a mason jar of water.  I then use this water instead of plain water or other liquid when I make sausages or snack sticks that I want some heat...

    Round propane tank question

    I think you could make something similar to the BGE (Big Green Egg) Ceramic smoker.  If your lucky, weber grill racks might just fit as is and are easy to find for cheap.  Could even fashion your own heat diverter from a pizza stone.  If all else fails send it north to me, I'm sure I could find...

    country link sausage ingredient

    Could you post your recipe, so we can see what you are using, that way we can suggest what may be missing.  I agree with Reinhard though that what is missing is something like nutmeg or my suggestion allspice.

    Snack Sticks From Ground Beef

    You could save yourself some time and hassle by eliminating the tying, once stuffed and rested, the meat will hold shape without the tie especially if you lay the sticks on racks to smoke. I hang my snack stick sausages from rods and don't bother tying as the meat will not "fall out" the open...
